Anden Kongebog 15

1 I Kong Jeroboam af Israels syvogtyvende Regeringsaar blev Azarja, Amazjas Søn, Konge over Juda.

In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.

2 Han var seksten Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede to og halvtredsindstyve Aar i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jekolja og var fra Jerusalem.

Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

3 Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som hans Fader Amazja.

And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

4 Kun forsvandt Offerhøjene ikke, men Folket blev ved med at ofre og tænde Offerild paa Højene,

Howbeit the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

5 Men HERREN ramte Kongen, saa han blev spedalsk til sin Dødedag; og han fik Lov at blive boende i sit Hus, medens Kongens Søn Jotam raadede i Paladset og dømte Folket i Landet.

And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king’s son was over the household, judging the people of the land:

6 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Azarja, alt, hvad han udførte, staar jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.

Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

7 Saa lagde han sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham hos hans Fædre i Davidsbyen; og hans Søn Jotam blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

8 I Kong Azarja af Judas otte og tredivte Regeringsaar blev Zekarja, Jeroboams Søn, Konge over Israel, og han herskede seks Maaneder i Samaria.

In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.

9 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, ligesom hans Fædre, og han veg ikke fra de Synder, Jeroboam Nebats Søn, havde forledt Israel til.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

10 Men Sjallum, Jabesj's Søn, stiftede en Sammensværgelse mod ham, huggede ham ned og dræbte ham i Jibleam og blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.

11 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Zekarja, staar optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

12 Saaledes opfyldtes det Ord HERREN havde talet til Jehu, da han sagde: »Dine Sønner skal sidde paa Israels Trone indtil fjerde Led.« Saaledes gik det.

This was the word of the LORD which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons to the fourth generation shall sit upon the throne of Israel. And so it came to pass.

13 I Kong Uzzija af Judas ni og tredivte Regeringsaar blev Sjallum, Jabesj's Søn, Konge, og han herskede en Maaneds Tid i Samaria.

Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned the space of a month in Samaria.

14 Da drog Menahem, Gadis Søn, op fra Tirza til Samaria, og der huggede han Sjallum, Jabesj's Søn, ned og dræbte ham og blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.

15 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Sjallum og den Sammensværgelse, han stiftede, staar optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

Now the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

16 Fra Tirza hærgede Menahem ved den Tid Tappua og alt, hvad der var deri, og hele dets Omraade, fordi de ikke havde aabnet Portene for ham; derfor hærgede han det og lod Livet rive op paa alle frugtsommelige Kvinder der.

Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the borders thereof, from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up.

17 I Kong Azarja af Judas ni og tredivte Regeringsaar blev Menahem, Gadis Søn, Konge over Israel, og han herskede ti Aar i Samaria.

In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, [and reigned] ten years in Samaria.

18 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, og veg ikke fra nogen af de Synder, Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, havde forledt Israel til. I hans Dage

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

19 faldt Kong Pul af Assyrien ind i Landet. Men Menahem gav Pul 1000 Talenter Sølv, for at han skulde støtte ham og sikre ham Magten;

There came against the land Pul the king of Assyria; and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.

20 Menahem inddrev disse Penge hos Israel, hos alle de velhavende, halvtredsindstyve Sekel Sølv hos hver, for at udbetale dem til Assyrerkongen. Saa vendte Assyrerkongen hjem og blev ikke længer der i Landet.

And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.

21 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Menahem, alt, hvad han udførte, staar jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

22 Saa lagde Menahem sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og hans Søn Pekaja blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead.

In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, [and reigned] two years.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

25 Men hans Høvedsmand Peka, Remaljas Søn, stiftede en Sammensværgelse mod ham, og fulgt af halvtredsindstyve gileaditiske Mænd huggede han ham ned i Samaria i Kongeborgen ...., og efter at have dræbt ham blev han Konge i hans Sted.

And Pekah the son of Remaliah, his captain, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the castle of the king’s house, with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites: and he slew him, and reigned in his stead.

26 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Pekaja, alt, hvad han udførte, staar optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

Now the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

29 I Kong Peka af Israels Dage kom Assyrerkongen Tiglat-Pileser og indtog Ijjon, Abel-Bet-Ma'aka, Janoa, Kedesj, Hazor, Gilead og Galilæa, hele Naftalis Land, og førte Indbyggerne bort til Assyrien.

In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maacah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he carried them captive to Assyria.

30 Men Hosea, Elas's Søn, stiftede en Sammensværgelse mod Peka, Remaljas Søn, huggede ham ned og dræbte ham; og han blev Konge i hans Sted i Jotams, Uzzijas Søns, tyvende Regeringsaar.

And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.

31 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Peka, alt, hvad han udførte, staar optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok.

And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.

35 Kun forsvandt Offerhøjene ikke, men Folket blev ved med at ofre og tænde Offerild paa Højene. Det var ham, der lod Øvreporten i HERRENS Hus opføre.

Howbeit the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places. He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD.

36 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jotam, alt, hvad han udførte, staar jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.

Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

In those days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah.
